WKM3

UV sterilization system for pharmaceutical industry with unique chamber

and
Lamp fail indication

Abstract
Objective
This project is incorporated with a famous company Pharmasia which is linked with
Himalaya products. The main objective of this project is to purify the water using UV
(ultraviolet) rays.

Methodology

The wavelength of UV rays is shorter than the violet end of the visible spectrum but
longer than the X-ray. The band width of UV rays is 10nm to 400nm. UV in the very shortest
range (next to X-rays) is capable even of ionizing atoms (see photoelectric effect), greatly
changing their physical behavior. At the middle range of UV, UV rays cannot ionize but can
break chemical bonds, making molecules to be unusually reactive.

Expected output

In this project water is allowed to pass through a UV tube which purifies the water by
killing the bacteria. This process is known as UV sterilization. But we can’t see the UV rays
with our naked eyes, because it is beyond the visible spectrum. So we are placing an UV light
sensor in UV tube which detects the UV rays. Thus when ever the UV lamp fails to generate
the UV rays then a buzzer will be blown. Here buzzer and UV light sensor are interfaced by
micro-controller. Hence we can get the purified water all the time. The project has been
approved by WHO (world health organization).

This project uses regulated 5v, 500mA power supply. 7805, a three terminal voltage
regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to rectify the
ac output of secondary of 230/12v step down transformer.
